Greg, I'd definitely suggest that your students run a local servlet engine. This can dramatically reduce the edit-compile-test cycle which gives the chance for more learning. If you want an IDE integrated environment then I'd recommend Visual Age Professional with it's Websphere test environment. Alternately you could use one of the lightweight free servlet containers (JSDK/JSWDK/TomCat) and the JDK with an editor. I'd suggest you begin experimenting sooner rather than later - trivial configuration issues can be time-consuming to resolve.

I'll be teaching a servlets course at a college starting in May. I'll be teaching in a room that has NT workstations. Students have access to an RS6000 running Apache and to an AS/400. For those of you who have taught servlets (this is my first time through it), could you please offer any insights. Should I have the students run web servers on their NT workstations and run servlets there? Should we have them spin individual Apache sessions off the RS6000 (I'm told this could be done)? Can I utilize the AS/400 here? Any help and suggestions would be appreciated...
